Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government (Deputy John Gormley)

The Freshford/Johnstown/Goresbridge Sewerage Scheme is included in my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2007-2009 at an estimated cost of €7.9 million. I approved the Preliminary Report for the scheme last November and it is now a matter for Kilkenny County Council to progress the preparation of contract documents.
